Hello Irina,

English tenses are not so complicated but you do need to focus on them for a while.

For things which are always true and regular habits we use the present simple - really easy as there are only two forms. I, you, we, they which take the dictionary form and he, she, it  which take the dictionary form + s

For single and repeated actions and states in the past we use the past simple - regular past simple verbs take the dictionary form and add -ed, but there are a number of irregular verbs - you can find lists of these but you tend to learn them fairly quickly as they are often used in everyday conversation. There is only one form in the past simple!

Hope this helps but explaining all the tenses properly would take several pages!

Best wishes
